KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - During a simulated launch countdown/emergency simulation on Launch Pad 39A, the rescue team carries ?injured? astronaut-suited workers out of the pad bunker. The four-hour exercise simulated normal launch countdown operations, with the added challenge of a fictitious event causing an evacuation of the vehicle and launch pad. It tested the team?s rescue approaches on the Fixed Service Structure, slidewire basket evacuation, triage care and transportation of injured...

Although often quoted as a discovery collider, the LHC will also allow for precise measurements. In particular, in the electroweak sector, the determination of the masses of the top quark and the W boson will benefit from high statistics and new methods.

In this paper we describe Herwig++ version 2.3, a general-purpose Monte Carlo event generator for the simulation of hard lepton-lepton, lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron collisions. A number of important hard scattering processes are available, together with an interface via the Les Houches Accord to specialized matrix element generators for additional processes. The simulation of Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics includes a range of models and allows new models to be added by encoding the...

In this paper we study the asymptotic behaviour under dilations of probability measures supported on polynomial curves in nilmanifolds. We prove, under some mild conditions, effective equidistribution of such measures to the Haar measure. We also formulate a mean ergodic theorem for $\R^n$-representations on Hilbert spaces, restricted to a moving phase of low dimension. Furthermore, we bound the necessary dilation of a given smooth curve in $ \R^n$ so that the canonical projection onto $ \T^n $...

We extend the results of a previous paper where a model of interacting dark energy, with a cosmological term decaying linearly with the Hubble parameter, is tested against the observed mass power spectrum. In spite of the agreement with observations of type Ia supernovas, baryonic acoustic oscillations and the cosmic microwave background, we had shown previously that no good concordance is achieved if we include the mass power spectrum. However, our analysis was based on the ad hoc assumption...

It is possible that a system composed of up, down and strange quarks consists the true ground state of nuclear matter at high densities and low temperatures. This exotic plasma, called strange quark matter (SQM), seems to be even more favorable energetically if quarks are in a superconducting state, the so-called color-flavor locked state. Here are presented calculations made on the basis of the MIT bag model considering the influence of finite temperature on the allowed parameters...

The aim of this paper is to argue that the "preferred basis problem" is not a real problem in measurement. We will show that, given an apparatus, among the infinite corrrelations that can be established in the final state by means of a change of basis, one and only one makes physical sense. It is the apparatus, through its interaction Hamiltonian, what selects a single basis and determines the observable to be measured, even without decoherence.

A bright feature 100 pc away from the core in the powerful jet of M 87 shows mysterious properties. Earlier radio, optical and X-ray observations have shown that this feature, labelled HST-1, is superluminal, and is possibly connected with the TeV flare detected by HESS in 2005. To examine the possible blazar-like nature of HST-1, we analyzed 2 cm VLBA data from dedicated full-track observations and the 2 cm survey/MOJAVE VLBI monitoring programs observed from 2000 to 2008.

We develop a theory for graphene magnetotransport in the presence of carrier spin polarization as induced, for example, by the application of an in-plane magnetic field ($B$) parallel to the 2D graphene layer. We predict a negative magnetoresistance $\sigma \propto B^2$ for intrinsic graphene, but for extrinsic graphene we find a non-monotonic magnetoresistance which is positive at lower magnetic fields (below the full spin-polarization) and negative at very high fields (above the full...

Let $Q$ be a Buchsteiner loop. We describe the associator calculus in three variables, and show that $|Q| \ge 32$ if $Q$ is not conjugacy closed. We also show that $|Q| \ge 64$ if there exists $x \in Q$ such that $x^2$ is not in the nucleus of $Q$. Furthermore, we describe a general construction that yields all proper Buchsteiner loops of order 32. Finally, we produce a Buchsteiner loop of order 128 that is nilpotency class 3 and possesses an abelian inner mapping group.

The interaction of a fermion with the dense axion medium is investigated for the purpose of finding an axion medium effect on the fermion dispersion. It is shown that axion medium influence on the fermion dispersion under astrophysical conditions is negligible small if the correct Lagrangian of the axion-fermion interaction is used.

We explore a novel mechanism for control of periodicity in persistent current in a twisted normal metal loop threaded by a magnetic flux $\phi$. A simple tight-binding model is used to describe the system. Quite interestingly we see that, depending on the number of twist $p$, the persistent current exhibits $\phi_0/p$ ($\phi_0=ch/e$, the elementary flux-quantum) periodicity. Such fractional periodicity provides a new finding in the study of persistent current.

Since the present experimental data are not powerful enough to select a small region of the MSSM parameter space, the choice of a judicious prior probability for the parameters becomes most relevant.

We prove that the $C^3$ diffeomorphisms on surfaces, exhibiting infinitely many sinksnear the generic unfolding of a quadratic homoclinic tangency of a dissipative saddle, can be perturbed along an infinite dimensional manifold of $C^3$ diffeomorphisms such that infinitely many sinks persist simultaneously. On the other hand, if they are perturbed along one-parameter families that unfold generically the quadratic tangencies, then at most a finite number of those sinks have continuation.

We present explicit BPS field configurations representing one nonabelian monopole with one minimal weight 't Hooft operator insertion. We explore the SO(3) and SU(2) gauge groups. In the case of SU(2) gauge group the minimal 't Hooft operator can be completely screened by the monopole. If the gauge group is SO(3), however, such screening is impossible. In the latter case we observe a different effect of the gauge symmetry enhancement in the vicinity of the 't Hooft operator.

The new bounds come from the solution of a linear programming problem. We apply this method to obtain new upper bounds for measurable sets which avoid the unit distance in dimensions 2,..., 24. This gives new lower bounds for the measurable chromatic number in dimensions 3,..., 24. We apply it to get a new, short proof of a variant of a recent result of Bukh...
